| Turntable Pre-Echo Sound....? are you sure that it continues throught the record or is it lmited to certain areas on the LP? Yes it must do. It is a physical limitation of the way LP's are cut. LP = Long Play = some compromises are naturally required to get that extra music c... | |
| Break in period Paul,My point was that audio engineers design things to sound consistent and significant audible changes ascribed to lengthy burn-ins (after months of listening) is not very desirable. If I understand you and others, you are saying that this has n... | |
| How is more than 16 bits better for CD? but, to answer the original question, if it's just a 24 bit DAC, and it does not upsample the data, then the last 8 bits will just be filled in with zeroes, as Aball mentioned in the first reply. Exactly. Thanks to Jason for clarifying completely... | |
| Can you correct nulls with acoustic treatments. Jim,The Maggies should still respond to the same physics in the bass as Genelec describes, however, they radiate front and back in ALL frequencies (not just the LF below 500 Hz) and, therefore it will be recommended to have them as far out as poss... | |
| low vs high gain Whatever works best with the preamp (allows you to play softly and loudly). | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I'm with Uraniumcommitte's 1/2 to 2/3 of total component spend, as a rough rule of thumb for speakers/sub (excluding room treatments and very small rooms). Distortion figures for speakers often make them the weakest link in the chain. | |
| Break in period I am rather enjoying your astute game Glad to here it. This hobby should be enjoyed!These forums are consistently bombarded by fears of significant detrimental effects on the sound quality; (jitter, cables, break-in, warm-up, house electrical wir... | |
| VSA VR4 jr's with Bryston mono's? Nice amp! I agree with Cyctocycle that clean power is usually never a problem except in a ridiculous mismatch. However, if you are looking for a significantly louder more dynamic sound then you won't get much extra by exceeding your speaker rating... | |
| Break in period Dopogue says, Shadorne has missed few opportunities (in the related posts I've seen) to repeat his break-in-is-all-in-the-mind nonsense It is your prerogative to believe that it is all nonsense.Dopogue adds, It clearly takes a lot to penetrate HIS... | |
| Break in period I am also somewhat amazed as to why you equate the phenomena of burning-in to something that is deliberately engineered? I assure you that engineers do have to worry about these kinds of things when designing equipment and not just the performanc... | |
| Break in period The components' tolerances can affect the de-emphasis; many of the ("good")resistors used are +/- 5% i.e. 10% total rated shift... Just a clarification for others reading the thread (not a correction);These are manufacturing tolerances between in... | |
| Break in period Guidocorona,A kryton is an example of a high voltage application of a tube that is all; an application where a tube is a more reliable device than a transistor. I was trying to qualify the meaning of my previous comment of "low voltage application... | |
| Break in period Drubin,What I was trying to say was that designers will try to minimize the effects of individual resistor, transformer, capacitor & inductor drift due to age and thermal effects. Where a component is critical then a designer may choose to use... | |
| Break in period Atmasphere, 'low voltage applications' - do you mean like phono signals Actually I meant in general run-of-the-mill electronic industry applications, as transistors are not very reliable for high voltage applications where for example krytrons mig... | |
| Wow CDs everywhere...What to do? Why wasn't I doing this before?! Hey BigBucks...welcome to the club of people who play music rather than fiddle with jewel cases, sleeves or mess with "ripping"!I have been doing this since 2001 using a product called Titletrack Jukebox, orignall... |
